Thanks for that image of the Spanish QL keyboard. I have added it to the appendix for the Online SuperBASIC manual. A build is executing, even as I type. It should be available in about 5 minutes, depending on server load. https://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Appendices/Appendix09.html...

Qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk has been offline for a wee while. For those who don't know, this was my online QDOS/SMSQ Internals Wiki and was written by myself and George Gwilt back in the annals of history. It appears that nobody noticed! :o :o :o As my hosting invoice has become ready for payment, I'm w...

Hi Andrew, I haven't quite figured out how to install software sourced from Dilwyn (thank you Dilwyn). Is there a resource you can point me to that would instruct? In my case, I download the file to my laptop. I have my win1_ drive pointing to a QL style hard drive image and also, my QPC dos1_ drive...

Hi Andrew. I can't help with actual QLs, but if you want to run Quill, then any of the emulators available will be happy to do that for you. I use Marcel's excellent QPC2 https://www.kilgus.net/qpc/ which is written for Windows, but I run it on Linux under Wine and it's fine, other than not being ab...

Talking of keyboards..... I loved the "dead fish" rubber keyboard on my Spectrum. The original one, not the [cough]Amstrad[cough] ones! ;) I also loved the original QL's excellent keyboard too. A far leap from the rubber one on the spectrum, and a huge, some may say, Quantum, leap from the...

Thanks Andrew, unfortunately, that appears to be a different book. It's "Computer", we are all looking for "Delete" by the same author.

Cheers,

Thanks, but am breaking the board for spares. Ok, I'm not a hardware expert -- just ask anyone here -- but if you have not solved the problem, then breaking the board for spares is going to mean, I think, that you will never be sure if the spare part is working or faulty! Just a though. Cheers, Norm.

Hello. And welcome to the mad house!

Cheers,
